Welcome to 1605 Ridge a 6.69% CAP, boutique multifamily property sited at the prominent Ridge & Parrish corner intersection (at 16th Street) in the booming Francisville submarket of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Spanning 3 property widths (1601-03-05) with soft corner exposure, The Property commands a strong presence on the Francisville streetscape with a brick-clad base and bay windows above. Throughout its operating history, there has been little-to-no vacancy in the building a testament to the quality of construction, location and spatial quality of the asset. On the ground floor, a neighborhood daycare operates the commercial space, having just exercised their 5-year NNN lease renewal option. Upstairs, there are five (5) oversized apartments, each with unique layouts: one (1) studio, three (3) 2bd x 2ba units and one (1) 3bd x 2ba unit. New Ownership can add a 5th floor “as of right” based on the current zoning in place and increase the density/unit count. Private roofdecks feature prominently in 1601-5 Ridge with Center City skyline views from atop the 4th floor. Located in the Francisville submarket just outside of Downtown Philly, residents of this ±9,000 SF apartment building benefit from proximity to shops, breweries, cafes, grocers, restaurants and multimodal transport options placing the entire city within reach of 1601-5 Ridge. Invest in a Top-10 USA MSA with the acquisition of 1605 Ridge. Real estate investment demand is largely driven by Philly’s relative affordability as compared to its pricier neighbors to the north (New York, Boston) and south (Washington, D. C. , Maryland, Virginia), with comparable lifestyle standards connectivity, culture, cuisine and convenience in Greater Philadelphia rival the nation’s leading metros. Investment sales in the Francisville submarket have been surging, largely due to its desirability for young professionals seeking contemporary accommodations in new construction apartments just outside of the downtown urban core.

Francisville, located between Fairmount Avenue and Girard Avenue, is a residential and artsy Philadelphia neighborhood with a rowhouse streetscape and a pocket-park feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Ridge Avenue near Fairmount Avenue, where corner cafes, small studios, and low-key bars set a steady, conversational pace. Community pillars include the Divine Lorraine Hotel’s landmark silhouette, the Metropolitan Opera House’s grand facade, and the Francisville Playground as a daily gathering green. Brick twins and newer infill sit side by side on tight blocks, with stoops and tree pits shaping the street scene. Broad Street’s transit spine frames the east edge, while Ridge Avenue angles through with a slightly off-grid energy.
